AI Summary
5 min readA man discovers a six-foot-tall, shape-shifting squid monster living in the woods behind his house. It can change the texture and color of its skin to blend in perfectly with trees or grass, and it has chosen to reveal itself to him, seemingly enjoying his terrified reactions through his window. What begins as a nightmare of surveillance and helplessness slowly transforms into an uneasy coexistence, and then into something far stranger when an old acquaintance becomes dangerously obsessed with the creature.
The narrator's first instinct is to gather proof. He installs an extensive camera system around his property, which quickly confirms the monster is real but also reveals how often it is present—his motion detector goes off every ten to fifteen minutes. He mutes it to preserve his sanity. When he tries to report the creature to the police with video evidence, they dismiss it as a prank or a costume. Online, his footage is called AI or special effects. He is trapped: unable to convince anyone, unable to afford to move, and unable to get a gun after his police reports flag him as a mental risk during a background check.
